Item Overview

Description

May Guinness (1863-1955)
STILL LIFE
oil on canvas
with Arts Council of Northern Ireland exhibition label on reverse
h:29 w:36 in.

In spring 2013 May Guinness formed part of an important and exciting exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art titled Analysing Cubism. It highlighted the strong association between Irish female artists, Cubism and the promotion of Modernist Art in Ireland. The present work, Still Life, reflects Guinness' avant-garde style and demonstrates her radical reimaging of composition, form and colour in this genre.
Among Guinness' contemporaries exhibited in IMMA were Mainie Jellett, Mary Swanzy, Evie Hone and Norah McGuinness alongside their continental counterparts Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Albert Gleizes and André Lhote.

It was in the company of Hone and Jellett that Guinness travelled to France to study under Lhote from 1922 to 1925. May Guinness first travelled to Paris in 1910 and, at the outbreak of World War I, she relocated there to become a military nurse in the French armed forces. She exhibited regularly in Dublin throughout her career. Venues included the RHA, IELA and the Dublin Painters Group. A memorial retrospective was held the year after her death in 1955 at the Dawson Gallery.
